Everyone followed Fang Zheng into the forest to look for the mansion hidden on the other side of the island.

Although there was a violent storm, no one chose to stay. The adults were interested in Beatrice's gold. Compared with gold, what was a little wind and rain?

The children were more curious about the mansion where Beatrice lived. So even in the storm, a group of people walked through the depths of the forest with umbrellas and flashlights - fortunately, this was an island, so there was no need to worry about any uninvited animals in the forest.

Of course, to be on the safe side, they also let Genci lead the way. Although Genci refused at first, after Fang Zheng said, "Whether you say it or not, we are going anyway," he had no choice but to surrender.

With Genji leading the way, it didn't take much effort for everyone to reach the western-style house on the other side of the island.

"This is the mansion where Lady Beatrice lives."

After walking through the door, Genci turned on the light and then spoke to everyone in a low voice.

"It feels... like it's just an ordinary mansion."

Battler put down his umbrella and looked around in confusion.

"I originally thought that there would be some spooky and scary things in the place where the witch lived, such as a bubbling cauldron, a weird black cat, and some scary specimens. Now it seems that this place is more normal than the villa we live in."

"After that tragic incident, the master sealed off this place, and I haven't been here for a long time."

Looking at the western-style house in front of him, Genji also showed a nostalgic expression, while Fang Zheng looked around and then made a gesture to Genji.

"Mind if we look around?"

"Of course, please."

"Fang Zheng, what are you looking for?"

At this time, Lou Zuo also walked up to Fang Zheng curiously and asked, but Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Secret passage."

"...Secret passage?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"I just checked, the road from here to our villa is really difficult to walk. You also said before that when you were chatting with Beatrice, she said that Kinzo would come every two or three days. With such a frequency, walking this way is simply asking for trouble. And Mr. Kinzo must be worried about being discovered. After all, many of you lived here at that time. What if he went out to look for Beatrice one day and was seen by one of you, and followed him out of curiosity? Isn't that a bad thing?"

"this……"

"So Kinzo must have built a tunnel so that he could sneak through the island to meet Beatrice secretly. Now I'm curious about where the tunnel is..."

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, everyone else was in a state of dismay. They came here to look for gold, but now it seemed that Fang Zheng was more interested in the secret passage than the gold...

"Alright, everyone."

Fang Zheng also turned around and looked at everyone.

"Shall we search together slowly? Or shall we separate and rely on our own skills and luck? You came here in the heavy rain, obviously not just to watch the fun."

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's question, everyone was silent for a moment, then exchanged glances with each other, and then the eldest brother Zangju came out.

"Then let's split up and follow the letter. Whoever finds the gold first will become the head of the Ushiromiya family. As for the distribution of the gold, it's according to what we agreed on this day. Is that ok?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, but soon Zangju added another sentence.

"But I want to add one more condition."

"What conditions?"

"No matter who discovers gold first, we will give one tenth of our share to the gallery, no problem."

"Hey? Hey?!"

Hearing this, Lou Zuo seemed a little flustered.

"Give it to me?"

"Of course, if it weren't for your boyfriend, we wouldn't have discovered this place. We might still be circling around the inscription now."

At this moment, Huiyu's husband Hideyoshi also spoke with a smile in his unauthentic Kansai accent, and the others nodded.

"But, this..."

Lou Zuo obviously hadn't thought of this. She looked at Fang Zheng in confusion, and the latter shrugged his shoulders.

"It's your money, you decide for yourself. Also, I must remind you that I am only guessing that the gold is here, and I am not sure, so if everyone can't find it... don't blame me for guessing wrong."

"We are just taking a gamble on the possibility."

At this time, Wujiang also spoke.

"Anyway, this is a possibility, and we made the choice, and that's enough."

"very good."

Hearing Wu Jiang's answer, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Then let's split up."

So next, the group split up into family units. Kurasu and his friends went to the kitchen and dining room to investigate, while Battler's family went to the basement. Eiha and the others chose to look for clues in the servants' room on the first floor. As for Fang Zheng, he took Roza to the entertainment room out of boredom.

"Do you really have a way to find the secret passage?"

Following Fang Zheng, Lou Zuo asked in confusion, while Fang Zheng just chuckled.

"Of course, it's actually not that difficult to find the secret passage. No reasoning or clues are needed. Nothing is needed."

"So how are you going to find it?"

At this time, Conan also started to complain speechlessly, and hearing what he said, Fang Zheng picked up a pool cue from the pool table next to him.

"It's very simple. Just do a carpet search. Knock on all the places near the walls and the ground. Then you will know the answer."

“…”

Well, this is indeed a very brainless, very simple, very convenient method that anyone can do.

Then everyone helplessly watched Fang Zheng holding the club and moving forward little by little like a blind man exploring the road. Seeing this scene, Maria also raised her hand happily.

"Woo--Maria is coming too!"

As she spoke, Maria also took a small wooden stick and followed Fang Zheng to knock on the floor under his feet. Louzu hesitated for a moment and also took a club and started knocking beside him. Looking at the scene in front of him, Conan was silent for a moment and silently took a club from the side.

Anyway, as long as it is useful.

So this group of people knocked around the entertainment room like blind people, and then came to the lounge next to it, and then...

"Woooa ...

Hearing the knocking sound, Zangju, Huiyu and others who were searching on the first floor also came over. Seeing a group of people who seemed to be playing blind people, they were also shocked.

"Find the secret passage."

"Is this possible?"

Looking at Fang Zheng and his group calmly knocking on the floor and walls, the others looked at each other in silence. After a while, Zhu Zhixiang also walked over.

"It looks like fun. I'll come too."

"I'll give it a try, too."

Let Zhi follow along... To be honest, they had no interest in finding gold, but the secret passage was very interesting!

Soon, the Battler family who were searching in the basement were also attracted and joined the game of knocking on the floor.

Since there is really nothing to find, maybe... the gold is in the secret passage?

They walked and knocked as they went, and finally, when they came to a lounge on the side of the mansion, Fang Zheng's golf cue hit one of the walls, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

“It’s right here!!”

Hearing this sound, Conan immediately became excited. He reached out his hand and wiped the dusty wall in front of him hard, then reached out and knocked again.

"Yes, there is nothing behind this. There should be a secret door here..."

"real?!"

At this moment, other people also gathered around, looking at the wall curiously, while Conan stared around and began to think.

"Let me see. The layout of this room should reveal some information. There must be some clues..."

“That’s not necessary.”

However, before Conan could finish his muttering, Fang Zheng walked forward, clenched his fist, and punched the wall in front of him with all his strength.

“Boom!!!”

Accompanied by a dull sound, the next moment everyone saw the wall in front of them suddenly cave in, and then a huge black hole appeared. Then after a moment, a heavy "bang" sounded - that was the sound of the door that Fang Zheng had knocked away falling to the ground.

“…”

For a moment, everyone looked at Fang Zheng in silence.

"Oh, this iron door has been in disrepair for a long time and has rusted away. It can be opened with a light push."

Under the gaze of everyone, Fang Zheng clapped his hands as if nothing had happened.

"I don't trust you."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Zhu Zhixiang couldn't help but complain.

"How can someone knock down such an iron door with bare hands? From the sound just now, the door must weigh more than ten kilograms! Are you the golden witch?"

"I am a man."

Fang Zheng replied casually, then took out a flashlight from his pocket and turned it on, shining it inside. Then everyone saw a dark staircase appearing under the flashlight. Then Fang Zheng stuck his head in, touched the wall next to him a few times, and then turned on the switch with a "click". Soon, white light illuminated the originally dark passage.

"There's no poisonous gas, let's go."

Unexpectedly, the passage in front of them was not narrow and the air was not turbid, but for Zang Ju and others, this was too strange.

"I didn't expect my dad would build such a place underground..."

“He probably didn’t build this.”

Fang Zheng shook his head, then he shone the flashlight forward.

"The layout here is clearly that of a military facility. This must have been some kind of military base in the past."

"Could there be any wronged souls who died..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Zhu Zhixiang suddenly became frightened, and the others didn't know why they felt a chill in their backs.

"Impossible. Your father passed by here every day to meet his lover. Even if there were any wronged spirits, they would have died of anger long ago."

"Well……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Zang Ju coughed. He was his father after all, so it wasn't nice for him to say that.

However, Zang Ju did not have time to say much, because at this moment, everyone, led by Fang Zheng, walked to the end of the corridor, and watched him hammer open a "dilapidated" iron gate with his bare hands, and then... everyone came to a luxuriously decorated guest room. Everything here was extremely extravagant, and there was even a big bed that looked like the one a princess in a fairy tale slept on.

But right now, in this room, there exists a being more attractive than the princess in the fairy tale.

It was layers of gold stacked up.

"Witch's Gold!!"

Seeing this scene, almost everyone's eyes changed, whether it was Zangju, Huiyu, Liu Fufu or their families, they all ran forward and surrounded the golden mountain in front of them, trembling with excitement.

"Ten tons! Ten tons of gold! The rumors are true! We found it! Big Brother!!"

"Yeah, ten tons of gold...hahahaha, I originally thought it was just a story, hahahaha..."

Everyone seemed to be attracted by the magic of gold. They stared at the golden mountain in front of them and shouted. No one noticed that the ground was shaking slightly. Dust fell from the ceiling and a faint voice echoed in the darkness.

“It’s not like this…it’s not like this…it’s not like this…!!!”

Accompanied by screams, the next moment, the world suddenly shattered.
